Background and Aims: The worldwide burden of cancer is increasing in younger populations. However, the epidemiology of primary liver cancer remains understudied in young adults compared to other cancer forms.Approach and Results: This study analyzed data from the Global Burden of Disease study ...
Liver cancer is the sixth leading cause of cancer death in the U.S. The most common type of liver cancer in adults is hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and men are more likely to develop HCC than women. It typically develops in people with long-lasting liver disease caused by hepatitis virus...
BEIJING, Feb. 28 (Xinhua) -- Chinese scientists have identified a therapeutic target of early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common type of primary liver cancer in adults. HCC is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Infection with the hepatitis B virus is...
The Western Pacific region exhibited the highest burden in 2019, showing the most significant increase compared to other regions between 2010 and 2019. More than half of the countries worldwide have undergone an increase in primary liver cancer incidence rates in young adults. Around 12.51% of ...
Two examples include hepatocellular carcinoma, the most common type of primary liver cancer in adults, and cholangiocarcinoma, cancer of the bile duct. Metastatic cancer (secondary cancer of the liver) begins in another organ and spreads to the liver, usually through the bloodstream. Common cancers...
This study was conducted in order to determine the most cost-effective strategy, in terms of interval and age range, forliver cancer screening in the high-risk population of Korea. A stochastic modelwas used to simulate the cost-effectiveness ofliver cancer screening by combined ultrasonography and...
aLiver cancer incidence fell dramatically in young adults. Compared with 1980–83, the age-specific liver cancer incidence rates in 2005–08 significantly decreased 14-fold at ages 20–24, 9-fold at ages 25–29, 4-fold at ages 30–34, 1.5-fold at ages 35–39, 1.2-fold at ages 40–44...
Nevertheless, GBD investigators have estimated that alcohol misuse is responsible for 27% of deaths from liver disease and 30% of liver cancer deaths worldwide.33 For ALD, no one region has been impacted dramatically; rather, the burden of ALD seems to impact most regions of the world. In ...

What are the different types of Liver Cancer? The different types of cells that are found in the liver can form different types of tumors. These tumors can either be cancerous (malignant) or non-cancerous (benign). The treatment of liver cancer depends on the kind of tumor, the cause, ...
